Soldered Twinchies




I’m itching to get back to soldering again. Using bevels, although a bit problematic, is well worth the drama. For these 2x2 pendants, we used glass bevels for the tops and cut plain framing glass for the backs. The brass embellishments were tinned then brushed with the same black patina used on the soldered copper foiled edges. Images: background tree image paper by ArtChix, rabbit die-cuts from Victorian Scrapworks, and vintage postage stamps.
